No, some teams are so devoid of talent or confidence as a group that being individually better doesn't matter. See Ayr United v Albion Rovers tomorrow for a similar scenario. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clydebank took more than that to Elgin away last round and to Glenrothes in the South Challenge Cup last weekend. This will be the best Accies support of the season.A few Pubs who don't normally run buses are doing so for this game and a lot of folk who have stopped attending are going. Simple reason is Accies fans turn out in decent numbers when it is a ground we haven't visited.This is partly because we have a solid core of fans who have watched us at 40+ grounds due to our descent down the Leagues and then rise back up...now we are on the slippery slope again. A lot of our fans expect us to lose here: a dreadful Cup record,wee boys v experienced campaigners,home advantage etc etc but the fact this is so and the current turmoil at the club means losing will only send the critics into full tonto mode. Thus, for once we may give a Scottish Cup tie the full attention it deserves as playing a severely weakened side will potentially bring another Annan style thrashing.

Accies were always a solid mid-table Championship club for most of the last 45 years I have been watching us,so way out of kilter with this. Think we have only spent 3-5 years in The Seaside Leagues since League reconstruction with not far off treble that in the top division. What we have done though is lose 60-70% of our support sadly.The only club to win promotion to the top tier and lose half a fanbase when other clubs did the opposite.
